Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve - Newfoundland
The national park reserve – the first to be established in Labrador – is also home to a variety of wildlife. It includes much of the range of the small Torngat Mountains caribou herd, as well as a portion of the George River caribou herd, the world’s largest. Polar bears frequent the area, and a unique population of tundra-dwelling black bears is also present. Wolves and arctic fox live here, and the plentiful bird life includes the peregrine falcon and golden eagle. Within the park reserve, hundreds of archaeological sites, which include tent rings, stone caribou fences, caches and graves, tell the story of peoples and cultures, particularly the Inuit, that have made this special part of Canada their home over the millennia.
